Chapter 143 A Brief Moment in the Smoke Screen
Chapter 143 A Brief Moment in the Smoke Screen
This sea serpent dragon is extremely fast.
Before the Swamp Monster could swim back to Lu An, it launched an attack on him.
Its speed and suddenness were so great that even Gosuke and Imai didn't have time to react before a blue face with a triangular nose appeared in front of Lu An.
"Beep!"
Lu An's pupils contracted.
What an aggressive sea serpent!
Not only do they jump onto the fishing boat when they bite the hook, but now they also take the initiative to strike at the slightest provocation.
Although the Seadragon race isn't known for its pleasant temperament, this is the first time I've seen a Seadragon so irritable.
Seeing the sharp spikes so close at hand, Lu An, who had no room to retreat on the fishing boat, stepped forward and pressed himself against the sea serpent dragon, almost face to face with it.
The step was taken with great decisiveness and force, and the fishing boat, which could only seat three people and had a live water tank, immediately began to rock.
Before Gosuke and Imai could react to the Seadragon's attack, they were already losing their balance due to the ship's rocking.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the Sea Dragon that is still in the air.
As for the instigator, Lu An's legs seemed to be filled with lead, firmly fixed to the swaying fishing boat, like an old hand who remained unmoved by the wind.
Lu An's lower body remained as steady as Mount Tai. He stretched out his hands towards the Sea Thorn Dragon, and his large hands seemed to possess magic, silently neutralizing the Sea Thorn Dragon's sudden attack.
Then Lu An continued to reach forward with both hands, trying to grab it.
"Beep!"
However, the Seadra is a flying dragon egg group and has the ability to briefly stay airborne.
With a gentle flap of its left wing, Lu An's large hand missed its target.
Then it nimbly perched on the bow of the fishing boat and launched a foam attack on the three people on board.
"Quickly, squat down!"
Lu An used his hand as a knife, swiftly and accurately striking Gangjie and Imai on their knees, causing their legs to buckle and they to fall onto the fishing boat, thus dodging the Sea Dragon's "Bubble Beam".
At the same time, he stretched out his other hand and cut all the "bubble rays" in front of him in half.
Poor Gosuke and Imai had no time to process what was happening from the moment they saw the Sea Dragon.
"Beep!"
The sea serpent at the bow of the ship glanced at Lu An in surprise.
It never expected that the creature that fished it out would possess such strength, capable of neutralizing its attack with its own hands.
Not only that...
Seadra glanced out of the ship and saw Swampert swimming toward the fishing boat at an extremely fast speed.
A look of disdain flashed in the Seadragon's eyes.
Swampert is a Pokémon that only knows how to act recklessly with its brute strength. If it gets close, not to mention what would happen to Seadra, this fishing boat would be destroyed by it.
Therefore, the Seadra completely disregarded the threat posed by the Swampert not far away.
It was going to give those guys on the ship who had fished it a good beating, to let them know that the Sea Thorn Dragon was not to be trifled with.
"Beep!"
Upon thinking of this, the Seadragon exhaled a thick, night-like cloud of smoke, enveloping itself and the entire ship, including Lu An.
The Swamp Monster, upon approaching, immediately lost its target.
"Swamp Monster, don't worry. You guard the outside of the ship and don't let the Seadra get away. Leave the things inside the ship to me."
Just then, Swampert heard its trainer's command.
The Swampert, who had been hesitant, suddenly became very relaxed.
"Ratchet."
Hehe, it seems their own trainer is about to make a move. Poor Seadra, it has no idea what kind of being it is facing.
"Beep!"
Within the smoke screen, the Sea Dragon's eyes were sharp and keen, as if the smoke screen had no effect on it, its gaze still firmly fixed on the three people on the ship.
Gosuke and Imai remained in the same position as when Lu An had cut them down on the boat, their eyes tightly closed, not daring to look up carelessly.
Lu An stood in the boat, looking around as if he had lost his sense of direction.
"Beep!"
The Sea Dragon quietly took off from the bow of the ship and came behind Lu An, its wingtips slowly approaching him.
It has a poisonous sting property, which allows it to poison its prey during a sneak attack, thus taking it down effortlessly.
But just as the sea serpent's venomous stinger was about to pierce Lu An's skin, Lu An, who had been looking around blankly, suddenly turned around and pointed his gaze directly in the direction of the sea serpent!
"Beep!"
The Sea Dragon was shocked and quickly retreated, while simultaneously unleashing "Water Wave" towards Lu An.
However, Lu An, who was well-prepared, would not let the Sea Dragon escape easily.
He plunged his right hand directly into the Seadra's "Water Pulse," and the sleeve of his right hand was instantly reduced to dust by the attack.
However, Lu An's right hand seemed not to sense the powerful force of the "Water Wave," and directly grabbed the left half of the Sea Dragon's wing through the wave.
Even through the dense smoke, making it difficult to see, the Sea Thorn Dragon could still make out Lu An's grinning face:
"You think you can escape now that I've caught you?"
Feeling a powerful force strike its wings, the Sea Thorn Dragon instantly lost control of its body and was thrown off the fishing boat by Lu An like a cannonball.
"Swamp Monster, at 12 o'clock, towards the fishing boat, snap!"
Outside the fishing boat shrouded in smoke, after hearing its trainer's words, Swampert, even without seeing Seadra, almost blindly stretched out its hands and brought them down hard on its chest.
Just as its hands reached their maximum strength, a blue figure emerged precisely from the smoke screen and, as if on autopilot, "coincidentally" landed in the Swampert's hands.
"Ratchet."
(* ̄? ̄*)
Although the Seadra was thrown out by 11 and couldn't stabilize its body, it still managed to see the grinning face on Swampert's big hands after emerging from the smoke screen.
It was a smiling face as radiant as its trainer's.
Then the Sea Dragon felt everything go black.
Without a moment's hesitation, Swampert's hands slammed down, slapping the Seadra, which was right in front of it, into the water.
Water is a truly amazing substance.
When you treat it gently, it becomes synonymous with gentleness, allowing people to truly understand the meaning of "gentle as water".
But when you treat it violently, it becomes synonymous with violence, showing you what it means to "strike water like iron."
At this moment, the Seadra, which had previously looked down on Swampert for its brute strength, suddenly realized what kind of "spark" would be generated by Swampert's brute force combined with the lake surface.
Seadragon felt as if its body had encountered a block of iron, and its internal organs seemed to have shifted under the force of the blow.
The headache that had been bothering the Sea Dragon disappeared at this moment, and before it could even utter a cry of pain, it simply passed out.
